Adolph Friedrich Lindemann
Adolph Friedrich Lindemann (13 May 1846 - 25 August 1931) was a German-born, British engineer, businessman, and amateur astronomer.
==Life==
Lindemann was born in the Palatinate to a Roman Catholic family established in Alsace-Lorraine under the Comte de Lindemann, who had married into the Cyprien-Fabre shipping family. Lindemann married Olga Noble (1851-''c.''1927), herself heiress to a wealthy New London, Connecticut engineering family of British origin, and the widow of a banker named Davidson with whom she had parented three children.〔Crowther (1965) ''pp''343-344〕〔Blake (2004)〕 Olga was reputedly "vivacious and beautiful".〔
Lindemann had raised capital in the City of London and constructed waterworks in Speyer and Pirmasens. Lindemann was also involved in the Transatlantic telegraph cable project. He moved to England in the 1860s and became naturalised.〔
The couple were wealthy, having an annual income of around £20,000 by 1914 (£1.5 million at 2003 prices). Olga had inherited a mansion near Sidmouth,〔 Devon and Lindemann took the opportunity to establish a laboratory and astronomical observatory there. On Olga's death, Lindemann donated the observatory to the University of Exeter.〔
